What is 0.19 percent of 120 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 120 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.19% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.19%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120=100%
2) x=0.19%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
120/x=100%/0.19%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.19% of 120

120/x=100/0.19
(120/x)*x=(100/0.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120=526.31578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (526.31578947368) to get x
120/526.31578947368=x
0.228=x
x=0.228

now we have:
0.19% of 120=0.228
